Oh, those fun-loving, politically-correct Democrats

Someone tell me again about how we get the government that we deserve.
And if that's true, it helps explain why Louisiana of all areas hit with a crisis alone descended into anarchy and chaos. Why? Because they keep electing mayors like Ray Nagin, congressmen like William Jefferson, and State representatives like Carla Dartez, who is now in the news for saying something that--if a Republican had said it--would have resulted in riots and demands for impeachment by now.

But since Dartez is a Dem, this isn't getting much play outside of the local area. Therefore, please allow me to let you all know what you're missing courtesy of the liberal, pro-Democrat media which is all but blacking this story out.

A couple of days ago, Dartez was talking on the phone with the mother of the local NAACP president, talking about their plans to bus voters to the polls on election day. (And I'm sure that they're not using the rides to push Democratic Party candidates because that would be wrong.) Dartez ended her call with long-time civil-rights activist Hazel Boykin by saying “talk to you later, Buckwheat.”

Whoa. Buckwheat? Damn, in the lexicon of insulting caricatures of black people, that one ranks right up there with Aunt Jemima and Amos and Andy. I mean, you just can't get any more demeaning and insensitive than that short of using the dreaded "N word".

And both hazel Boykin and her son Jerome are understandably pissed. They've withdrawn their support for Dartez and called on her to resign.
And Dartez told Jerome Boykin thhat if he mentioned the insult on his radio show, she would resign. Of course this was meant as a threat, as in "if you out me, I'll make sure that you get stuck with my challenger, and he's a REPUBLICAN!"

of course that didn't silence Boykin and he did talk about it. And like a typical Democrat, Dartez went back on her word once her bluff was called and now refuses to resign.

But what's telling is that Dartez had been an embarrassment to her party and the state before. Prior to qualifying for this election in September, she hit a pedestrian with her vehicle then failed a field sobriety test. However Dartez did apparently pass a breathalyzer test given later, although her blood-alcohol content has not been disclosed.

Additionally, earlier this month, her husband, Lenny J. Dartez, a member of the Democratic Party’s State Central Committee, was indicted for allegedly harboring illegal aliens through his construction business. Just what we need, eh? Thousands of jobs rebuilding Louisiana but none for Louisianans because the Dartezes make more money using illegals. She also racked up a DWI in 1998.

And this does nothing if it doesn't highlight the Democrats' double-standard. When Republican Senator Trent Lott said something nice about Strom Thurmond at Thurmond's 100th birthday party, Dems were in an uproar, demanding (and ultimately getting) his ouster from office. Yet Democrat Robert Byrd, a former leader in the Ku Klux Klan, still serves as a Senator with the blessing and support of the same people who called for Lott's head. I'm betting that those partisans are quick to overlook Dartez' insult to blacks as well because in the end, it's more important to get a majority than it is to remove racists from the Democratic party.

And if Louisiana voters re-elect Dartez, then we'll know that they really want and deserve a corrupt racist with a drinking problem as their advocate.
